The Boy Has Grown Up

Hot 1691 views. 2013-4-3 15:41 |

I have not seen my younger brother for more than one year.  And we are living in different city. He is working in Guangzhou city. Due to the high living cost in GZ, he rented a house with one guy in the suburb to save money. My younger brother chatted with me last time by QQ. He told me that he made a GF and he tries his best to make money. He is trying his best to work hard and plan to buy an apartment within two years. I think it is too hard for him due to he takes part in work only more than one year. He told me that he wanted to give his future wife and our parents a better living condition. And buying a house is necessary. Our parents are getting old day by day. As our family background is not so well as others, but I think our duty lies there. It is our responsibility to make our home cheerful and comfortable. I come to realize that the boy has grown up! I used to view my brother as a little boy, but I know he is an adult with mature mind now.

As time goes by, all of us will realise what we need at that time. in my childhood, I have no money to play game machine, but years ago I get a computer which is unexpected far more magical than a game machine. And now, your brother's goal, is a phenomenon like most of us. And look with leap, a phone, a glass, a watch which contains high tech all will be ready to sell soon, just like a loop which will fulfill our demands.

although a critical problem lies that, money, which we can buy many many wonderful things, such as apartment, cars, I still insist my thought that, when you spending all the time in work, don't over feel any burden, we live in this material word, making money is just an aspect, it is not the destination, don't overlook your inner happy world, just like what you have said, you felt relief of him, he has grown up, and have a mature mind, knowing the parents, to give them a comfortable life, this emotion is precious, the material things will be replaced by the new, only the precious emotion will turn to be memories and last for long.  You will never know what life will brings you next of this choclate box.


bye the way, few of someone's blog type is so tough for me to read, I deem it not only waste my energy but also makes my brain heated....haha...Please forgive me for this exaggerated way of admitting I had enjoyed a delightful reading.

I have a feeling that your brother is destined to be a successful person because he has all the necessary qualities and traits to succeed. A person caring and working for the benefit of family would not fail. Buying a house in his capacity won't be easy but somehow he would be able to do that. When there is a will, there is a way. You as an elder sister need to give him encouragement and the energy to go on. Tell him you know how hard life is and commend him for having the courage to face all these difficulties and the determination to succeed. You are a good sister.

As a matter of fact, it is hard for young people to own their house in China. But they set for goals for them. I think he is a social worker and know the hard life. Because he is an economic independence man and make his own feet for survival!

I agree with your opinion. Making money is very important, but we should try to make us happy.  If you sacirfice a lot in your work, you probably no much time to spend with your family. It is necessnary to find the balance in life.

Working for money, this is the surface of our life. But this is necessary. We need to buy house, but a car, build a family, raise a child, honor our parents etc. Although we need to getting happiness in our life. In my oponion, we work hard and earn money, we already got the happiness at the same time.
